strategy

[proud drift]

Only useful for keeping enemy in stairs

Saria also was moral support

Gladiia as well overkill

Well ig saria was nice to keep shit from spreading

But by 375 shit was irrelevant

Lol

Cuz only time shit dropped at top row was 375

[broken gate]

I expected more from this annihilation

[split prism]

would someone be able to compare SA VS Mlynar for me? I get that they have different costs and slightly different S3, but are there particular situations you’d use one over the other

[proud drift]

SA reveals invisible

[vernal lion]

yea, Mlynar is nuke tag, while SA is not

[gentle finch]

i needed gladiia

[glass monolith]

not anymore anyways

[split prism]

i actually forgot that SA reveals invis

[gentle finch]

to keep spalter alive and to pull the dodge dudes into her

so she blocks them

cuz where she is, there is no nether sea brand

[proud drift]

@gentle finch solution

Have no brand

I didn’t use roomba

Still 4

[split prism]

So SA s3 just gives him attack buff, but mlynar s3 triggers his talent more?

[vernal lion]

they do no Lapp challenge tho

[astral oyster]

no it doubles his trait afaik

[glass monolith]

Mlynar don't have "talent", he just slap super hard

[vernal lion]

you can say Mlynar is delete button

[astral oyster]

watch as texas become nuke on demand

[gentle finch]

how

does lapp silence their ability

[split prism]

ohhh makes sense, mlynar is SA power crept, but you can’t just helidrop

[proud drift]

Lapp silences 90% of SN yeah

She only doesn’t silence attack elemental dmg and mushrooms

[gentle finch]

if so then that's irrelevant because I'm not using any silence or any other thing that hard counters the mechanics of these mobs

[proud drift]

Everything else is silenced

Ah so handicap on purpose

[gentle finch]

I thought it would be more difficult if I did that

but it wasn't

[proud drift]

Nah

[gentle finch]

😐

[proud drift]

Brand does 0

Mobs do 0

[glass monolith]

Mlynar powercreep SA damage wise and can activate his S3 more often than SA, on drawback (or bonus) of not blocking between slashing

[proud drift]

Idk why but it feels like enemies have mega-downscaled stats

Way too much

[split prism]

gotcha, since i’m not really using SA to block then kinda pointless to compare that part

[vernal lion]

because they just want to enter the bluebox, to make you lose anyway

[proud drift]

Only thing SA has over mlynar is invis reveal

[glass monolith]

Because we have only like 10 enemies with actual stats? (Bubble guy, and wet doodles)

[proud drift]

Mlynar activates faster as helidrop

Which is kinda

[glass monolith]

FASTER REDEPLOY FOR SHIT

[proud drift]

Ok but bubble guy in SN kills my blemi in a few autos

Mf didn’t even do 3% of blemi hp

In anni

[glass monolith]

huh

[split prism]

i guess if you don’t need max ramp up it’s quicker to just activate instantly and less DP

[vernal lion]

wait for BI anni and meet this girl

[proud drift]

I’m waiting for LE anni

[gentle finch]

hm

I thought the brand did DoT

[proud drift]

It does but it’s nothing

[glass monolith]

Break the Ice super compact lore:
Silverash: Doctor' what's your hobby?
Doctor: Oh i just have my operators 1v1 Kazimier champions, why you asking?

[gentle finch]

Almost killed my Spalter cuz she had nervous impairment and brand w/o medic

she had to be in the position that she was to keep it from spreading

it worked out though

was very close

[proud drift]

I mean without healing yeah things die

[gentle finch]

e medic range couldn't cover her sadly

but her skill cycling is too good

27 sp for +200% HP

[rose owl]

Almost f'd up but did it anyways thanks to the medics and Saria

[proud drift]

How much salt do we even need to mine

Does penance and sexas both use salt

[vernal lion]

"Let's 1v1 me"
Black Knight:

[elder flume]

owao ifrit on mumu is indeed

[glass monolith]

4 of 5 clones don't attack shit

[vernal lion]

but mumu is on melee tile or ranged tile

[rose owl]

ye

[glass monolith]

What the fuck is Salt?

[civic nest]

salt is the new mats

comes with chapter 11

[glass monolith]

oh, it is salt indeed

[civic nest]

salt cube

[vernal lion]

salt in Arknights is surely not cheap

[glass monolith]

Well we have Surplus of it every banner change

[vernal lion]

My speedrun auto is fucked up in the end, somehow lol

[copper vale]

aight, so
purple circles are medics (ansel top, silence s1 bottom), green ones are snipers (kroos top, jessica bottom), silver circle is lappland who usually has to get retreated at 350 to not explode to arts drones, gold circles are mlynar initial position>redeploy for 350, red circle is Horn, dark blue circle is Spot, light blue circle is Courier who just generates SP until he has to be retreated then I usually try to slap defenders there to block the caster that walks forward after 350

@vital arrow

[vital arrow]

Put thorns on the tile north of the bottom sniper

[glass monolith]

Could just wrote operator names

[vital arrow]

He'll camp the bottom half there

[copper vale]

mlynar is borrowed

so i can only use him or thorns

[vital arrow]

You can try horn on toplane

[copper vale]

i have a SA but only level 1

[vital arrow]

See if she can sweep the defense crushers

My horn is s1m3 and s3m3 so I can't really do a fair testinf

[copper vale]

she can kill a few of them with one s3m0

[vital arrow]

If her S3 can spawnlill the crushers

[copper vale]

but the bigger problem then is arts drones

[vital arrow]

Then you're set

[copper vale]

because i think they all move at once

[vital arrow]

They move top to bottom

One by one

Thorns camps the bottom half

[copper vale]

oh okay they're not that evil then e_e

[vital arrow]

You just need to care about the top half

[copper vale]

would you put thorns below jessica, or still in front

[vital arrow]

Above jessica

[copper vale]

because he'll get shot right away I think if I put him there

[vital arrow]

North of jessica

Not east of jessica

[copper vale]

oh, so where spot is

[vital arrow]

In front of spot

[copper vale]

o who do you put in front/below her then if you need to keep any leaks out, just uh

any defender?

[vital arrow]

Jessica is your bottom sniper no?

[copper vale]

yeah

[vital arrow]

Yeah just put a random defender on botlane

Thorns just camps the rest

[copper vale]

aite

i'll check back in a bit see how that goes

or should i stream it somewhere once it gets to 340-350

[vital arrow]

You can try the strat first

It should be pretty afk

[latent anvil]

eh, you really put thorny there frek? i would definitely put him to east of jessica

and then instead of jessica bot

i would do double sniper top

[vital arrow]

I don't want him to get sniped by the arts drones

And thorns there camps 3 defense crushers

And the last elite one as well

[latent anvil]

i remember doing that stage on alt and thorns on east of jessica was so much better

[copper vale]

what's the plan versus big red boi

[vital arrow]

Thorns hits him

He sits for like a whole minute

[copper vale]

ah

this is the layout i've got going now

feeling a bit iffy about it

[latent anvil]

yea me too

[copper vale]

because jessica has nobody in front of her

[latent anvil]

jessica spot cant do anything to the guys that go bot

[vital arrow]

Idk whats beagle doing there

[copper vale]

there so kroos doesn't eat shit vs bolts

[vital arrow]

I'd put horn on courier's spot

[spice nebula]

Tells me early the big red boi will fuck up top and bottom lane

[latent anvil]

if anything spot should be shaw

[spice nebula]

Yeh horn on top instead
Thorns further back(?)
Or put in bottom lane then facing up

[latent anvil]

thorns not further back put thorns to the right of jessica im certain its better

[copper vale]

my shaw rn is only e0 sl4 on first

do you need s2l7 to push the possessed junkdoods

[alpine plover]

Thorn bottom right corner facing up should do

And swap jessica and kroos places maybe

[latent anvil]

ew face up

then he doesnt spawncamp defense crushers or drones at end

[alpine plover]

Horn is enough?

[latent anvil]

i did so many different placements and face right to the right of jessica is what i thought was best by longshot

[copper vale]

okay, so... horn top, thorns right of jessica?

horn also can't kill drones

[latent anvil]

what lvl thorns is that

[copper vale]

e260m3

[latent anvil]

idk if jessica needed bot, definitely not needed for max thorns

for me thorns solo held the bot three lanes, so i just focused everything else on top

add caster behind thorns for later rounds i think, double sniper top

if you place snipers first, and then defender, it shouldnt matter that anyone is eating crossbow

[copper vale]

should I keep gravel in the squad for any reason or nah

or lapp

[scenic kestrel]

what is a good team that i can use to kill all of the enemies in penumbra shipyards annihilation map? (i could also borrow a operator from the support unit)

[latent anvil]

lapp better, helps top

[proud drift]

This is full afk

Imo

Blemishine not needed

Gladiia not needed

[smoky crescent]

lapp thorn gg honey/mul saria pozy ifrit? well, chill the anni is quite easy.

[proud drift]

Saria not needed

You can push thorns and lappland 1 tile ahead

Blemishine was useless

I completely overkilled

[alpine plover]

You don't really need much damage there. Thorns+Horn should be enough except for the wizards

[proud drift]

Only need a honeyberry, a thorns, a lappland, a goldenglow and a spawnkiller for top left

So like Horn or Fia

375 spawns a few shitting enemies top middle red box

Before that nothing

Only dodges and dogs

[vernal lion]

he just needs to know where to put op, because once the brand is spreading, you have 50:50 chance to f*ck up

[proud drift]

Blaze didn’t leak anything without any silence or stun

[vernal lion]

also the dodge enemy is on both lane

[scenic kestrel]

uh, well i haven't built any wandering medic ops or lappland herself

[alpine plover]

Take lapp from support, you're fine without wandering

[scenic kestrel]

what does she even do

[quartz pendant]

I have Dyslexia, how DARE YOU say I cannot read

I will delete your account and have you only able to do 9-19

You will face my illiterate wrath

(Ily jk)

[copper vale]

aite, this is what i've got now

will report back later

[vernal lion]

silence the enemy ability

[alpine plover]

Silence. Turns scary gimmicky enemies into stat bricks

Not particularly big stat bricks mind you

[latent anvil]

ayo what is beagle doing there just leave her undeployed or something

[vernal lion]

I'm also thinking about that lol

either Thorns died nor Beagle died, it's still bruh

[latent anvil]

deployment slot better used on amiya behind thorn but it kinda late, she will get shot by drone

[alpine plover]

There is no way you have enough damage for the middle

[foggy grove]

why does it feels like thorns lane will leak drone

[latent anvil]

thorns lane wont leak drone

because he targets them

but mid lane has no arts dmg so it kinda doomed

[copper vale]

i can just restart and put amiya there

[proud drift]

She makes this anni as easy as anni2

[copper vale]

should she be facing up?

[proud drift]

By silencing enemies

So they don’t drop poop

And don’t dodge

[copper vale]

amiya behind thorns first, facing up or right 👀

[latent anvil]

uh

did you quit out yet

[copper vale]

i restarted it

it's not that far in

[latent anvil]

if you have time and dont care about irl sanity then you can force close at any moment to get full sanity refund (and no orundum) i was just gonna tell you to let it run

[alpine plover]

Honestly just put Thorn back on Cuora's place. Move Beagle so that she block inside his range.

[latent anvil]

there are drones on bot lane

just run it once with amiya face up and see how it goes

tell us how you die

[copper vale]

deploy order should be something like snipers>casters>thorns and horn, yeah?

[latent anvil]

snipers, casters, healers, thorns horn, defender yeah

[vernal lion]

[latent anvil]

are those drones

[vernal lion]

yellow colors, yes

[latent anvil]

yea pls just try thorns c8, its good trust

[alpine plover]

Oh wow they just B-line huh

Drones nowadays go in zigzags most of the time

[latent anvil]

i lost enough times on alt thorns carry to know what im talking about

[scenic kestrel]

interesting, i thought the silence thing just makes the enemie not make any sounds, anyways so this is the team that i should be using?

[alpine plover]

...You're joking, right?

[spare turtle]

Took “silence” quite literally

[scenic kestrel]

about the silence? nope i genuinely thought thats what it does

[vernal lion]

I don't think you know about silencing the explosion spider to prevent the explosion

[gentle finch]

what

[scenic kestrel]

its for the penumbra shipyard annihilation map

[copper vale]

welp

[gentle finch]

i meant

[copper vale]

284, kroos got bopped by bombtails

[gentle finch]

your understanding of the silence mechanic

is quite humorous

[copper vale]

should be time to redeploy her just fine

[gentle finch]

rip

[copper vale]

oh

god damn it

[gentle finch]

hm

[copper vale]

the fuckin arts drone just shoots her immediately lmao

so i need something to bait out bombtails

[gentle finch]

gravel

was just gonna say u needed bait lol

[copper vale]

i have to drop one operator to bait them is the thing

no deploy space

[latent anvil]

bombtails? when the hell were there bombtails in that stage damn i guess i didnt play that stage enough

[gentle finch]

undeploy bagel

beagle

[copper vale]

i did

[gentle finch]

?

bro it's anni 3

[foggy grove]

[gentle finch]

there's like 2 sets of bombtails

[latent anvil]

yea i swear it was only arts drones and drones

[foggy grove]

you forgor bombtails

[scenic kestrel]

truly humorous, anyways i think thats the best team that i can use for it, but i need to know where to place the operators though

[copper vale]

i need to either drop my bottom medic or amiya

[gentle finch]

how do you not have one deployment slot then

[copper vale]

replace beagle with amiya above her

facing up

[gentle finch]

I'm going off this

i see

[vernal lion]

excuse me?

[gentle finch]

well uh

u could undeploy Ansel maybe

cope with silence drone until

[latent anvil]

[vernal lion]

the anni 3 stage is literally chap 6

[scarlet fulcrum]

5

[vernal lion]

some

[scarlet fulcrum]

6 is frost

[gentle finch]

ch6 is freeze and stuff mainly

[vernal lion]

alright, so it's 5 and 7

[gentle finch]

7

...

[vernal lion]

spec op caster ?

[copper vale]

those come in ch5

maybe even 4

[gentle finch]

those are in ch5

ch7 has those weird casters

they swing something in their hands

[scarlet fulcrum]

The debut after ch5, shrimple as that

[vernal lion]

yea

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mostly 3 and 5

Cause cringe invis caster

[vernal lion]

just use SA

[scarlet fulcrum]

So ture

[scenic kestrel]

am i not gonna be able to win the map on my first try? i don't want to consume more than 25 sanity

[vernal lion]

play so high content, I forgot smth old

[latent anvil]

ofc you can win first try

[gentle finch]

u can exit the app to save sanity

[scenic kestrel]

when?

[gentle finch]

whenever u leak...?

lmao

[alpine plover]

Just open youtube then

[scarlet fulcrum]

When u fckd up

[gentle finch]

if it's this

idk what u gonna use surtr for

[scenic kestrel]

right

[gentle finch]

but it's overkill either way

very easy

Ifrit S2

[vernal lion]

let me introduce this feature

[gentle finch]

mobile'

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah i used that way most of the time, cause my phone potato

[copper vale]

fuckin-

[lethal dragon]

@latent anvil I GOT IN

[gentle finch]

he got in

[copper vale]

so thorns dies to casters around 130-140 if you put him there with no medic

[vernal lion]

just turn off the internet data, exit the game and press no, and turn on internet data again, login back
easy

[scenic kestrel]

i need some sort of spawn killer, surtr isn't really a spawn killer and more of a boss killer, idk who else i could use other than her

[gentle finch]

oh

didn't know this

[copper vale]

ignore the empty midlane because i tried to punt spot one tile further up and he instantly died to casters as well

[vernal lion]

[latent anvil]

[scarlet fulcrum]

@copper vale check my dm

[gentle finch]

idk why thorns facing like that

[vernal lion]

haven't you remembered anything from the old run?

[gentle finch]

i don't like that position

just me

[latent anvil]

its not just you

its everyone except me

[turbid badge]

Attacks do 3 shockwaves
Rosmo- Increase Def ignore to 220 Def

Holoeak- Ignore 10 Res, Increases atk to 135% when attacking air and applies 5 sec silence to them

[gentle finch]

also

why is amiya down at 135 enemies

[turbid badge]

Apply's 10% Vulnerable? for 2 seconds
Gnosis- 30% Weakness to Cold
Pram 25% to apply Cold
Shamare 10 secs deployed then becomes lower taunt

W ignore 100 Def, Reduce time to activate 2nd talent to 8 secs, also gains +20% Atk when not damaged for 18 secs

Kal When Monster is in her range Monster gets +20% Def and +20 Aspd

whats the new debuff now? has anyone tested

[vital arrow]

Weaken is just atk debuff

[gentle finch]

u shud use a sniper for most of the fime

[copper vale]

myrtle was literally just there to keep generating DP just in case lol

[turbid badge]

ah

[gentle finch]

time

[turbid badge]

i knew it

yay

[gentle finch]

until maybe 360+ enemies

[midnight widget]

This anni is really easy right?

[gentle finch]

uh

yeah

[vital arrow]

So I tried my setup and the problem is the last 2 defense crushers

[spare turtle]

Technically don’t need Amiya there until towards the end for the big funny guys with their high def

[vital arrow]

I wonder if replacing someone wih a caster would do it

[gentle finch]

me who just said that:

[midnight widget]

cuz I felt it hella easy and I don't know if it was rarity abuse, ling abuse or just easy stage

[copper vale]

are there any drones at the point where i'd want to punt here there

[gentle finch]

ehat

what

[copper vale]

because she'll get zapped instantly if she takes like 3 shots

from the elite arts drones

[gentle finch]

@vital arrow

did u ss ur setup

[vital arrow]

Yeah

But I forgor

[turbid badge]

WTF

[vital arrow]

I just killed app instantly

[turbid badge]

tornado only hit one enemy damn

[gentle finch]

oof

i got em but im broke

[scenic kestrel]

i wish all of the tutorials for clearing stages weren't "low star clear" tutorials because i don't care about any of the 3* ops

[gentle finch]

don't use caster

until late stage

360+ enemies

use sniper instead

facing right

[vernal lion]

can't you just do it like this?

[gentle finch]

it literally doesn't matter, just adapt the strat slightly

[turbid badge]

can clones straight up are unable to copy st medics/bards

or what happens

[midnight widget]

[gentle finch]

is that texas

[vernal lion]

yes

[gentle finch]

!

[scenic kestrel]

idk what I'm looking at

[gentle finch]

can't wait until i get skalter

anyways bye

[vernal lion]

mumu summon can steal stat? that's new

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its summon trait

[vernal lion]

aight

[copper vale]

if you're only deploying amiya up to that point, would you use her s3 instead of s1

or does it also start at like nothing for initial sp

[alpine plover]

Should work i think. After 300 there is no more drones for bottom-most so sniper can be replaced for Amiya. Lapp should kill bomb thingy fast enough. S1 is probably better

[copper vale]

there are arts elite drones at 350

unless you mean none where thorns can't reach the

them*

[alpine plover]

None where Thorns can't reache

[copper vale]

ahh okay

[vernal lion]

why reach? they are gonna shoot Thorns down

[alpine plover]

He kills them in like three hits each

[vernal lion]

the big drone tho, not the small one

3 of them are enough to oneshot Thorns

[latent anvil]

oh

yea move thorns up one tile

i think i messed up my tile placements, put him on d8 and he will spawnkill the drones that sit there

[alpine plover]

I'm confused. This map has 2 types of drones and neither should do anything to e2 60 Thorns. Drop a silence drone on him worst case scenario. My only concern is top not having enough damage maybe

[vital arrow]

So looks like the problem is

The elite defense crusher

And the last normal defense crusher

Theres also one last arts master at 397 which really makes it hard

Thorns does just fine until the elite defense crusher just gibs him

If they have arene this would be much more doable

And I don't have E1 lapp to test her out

[alpine plover]

Is his Horn E1?

[vital arrow]

E2

But no masteries

[gentle finch]

rip.bozo

[vital arrow]

Should still work

Because most of the pressure is midlane

[alpine plover]

Just did it with s1m1

The only big difference in level is my lapp being e2 then

Spot actually dies to the crossbow so maybe needs better tank. Or just extra one. Also Amiya for last defense crushers.

Otherwise should work, i don't think Lapp level matters that much there

[vernal lion]

you can refer this

[frigid kite]

Sup

[alpine plover]

Is Jessica fine under crossbow? Wtf happened to my spot then

[frigid kite]

Are ya having problems with new anni?

[turbid badge]

why

[ancient hearth]

Their goals are beyond our understanding.

[vernal lion]

she's fine if the medic gets enough healing for all 3 of them

if the healing is higher than turret final dmg, then your sniper is always alive

so the turret deals 600 dmg, that jessica is ~130 def,
600 - 130 = 470

so you need at least 470 healing to save her

Ansel is 427 healing in max level, so it's not good
Myrrh is good with that Silence spot too

[copper vale]

got it \o/

[frigid kite]

In other words

[copper vale]

thorns above jessica was the play

[frigid kite]

Kroos won't survive it

But 4* will

[copper vale]

and horn one tile further back than that

the elite defense crusher doesn't go after thorns if you put horn one tile back

[vital arrow]

Oh, how did you handle the elite big guy?

[copper vale]

he zigzags and tries to bop horn

and gets destroyed by thorns+amiya for his trouble

[vital arrow]

Oh you put horn mid?

[copper vale]

yeah

[vital arrow]

Whos top?

Lapp?

[copper vale]

i had help from @scarlet fulcrum

[vital arrow]

Oh kirn

[vernal lion]

Lapp can be top too

[copper vale]

yeah, lapp+kroos top

lapp right in front of kroos

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh u did it, congrats 🎉

[vital arrow]

Yeah I can't really test lapp because mine is E2

[copper vale]

the first defense crusher will loop around if your lapp isn't e2

but that's fine

[vital arrow]

And that is a big difference

[copper vale]

horn with her s3 will still mog it to death

you just have to activate it before it gets in blocking range otherwise she'll get stunned on 3rd hit like my first attempt did

[vital arrow]

Thats good ig

[copper vale]

and leak more enemies up top lmfao

[vital arrow]

Now for tenebrous shipyard

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yostar shipyard

[copper vale]

i should not have listened to the first person who just told me to silverash it lmao

i spent like

probably 4 hours trying to figure out how to set it up to stall enough to actually have his skill for 350 and then figure out how to get him to not die

because even with gravel and another throwaway vanguard tanking the arts drones he'd still usually die

i think the main thing that started keeping my top lane alive was using an aoe medic tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

Actually the vid really gud, its by kyangi iirc

[vernal lion]

big arts drone won't die easily to E1, you will need at least 2 sources of dmg

[copper vale]

spot actually imploded even with his skill+silence's skill active

to the 350 arts drones

but that was fine

i don't think he actually needs to be there

[scarlet fulcrum]

He just made thorns clear faster

[copper vale]

either way it worked

i'm happy

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nice gj

[copper vale]

now i don't have to touch that again lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

Now penumbra shipyard

[copper vale]

are you supposed to do other annihilations with mostly e1 teams lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah, this one can be cheesed with lapp

[copper vale]

does lapp need to be e2 for it

because mine is just a few mats+lmd waiting room away from it

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah, most likely tho roomba exist. If no luck u have that

[vernal lion]

E0 just did Dossoles Water Gate

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pog

Based

[vernal lion]

funny medic lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

holy, strongest sarkaz

We need her medal for more lore

[vernal lion]

she's pretty much is Chain Caster x Abjurer but no Sanctuary effect

[scarlet fulcrum]

with cringe condition yeah

[vernal lion]

guess she's only useful if there's aoe dmg in the stage

[scarlet fulcrum]

And weirdga setup

[copper vale]

i have genuinely no idea what you're supposed to use Paprika over an actual aoe medic for

do ops have to all be lined up directly next to each other to chain heal like that, or can you space them an extra tile apart

[scarlet fulcrum]

Diagonal still works iirc, not sure tho

[copper vale]

there's gotta be one map to give her a reason to exist

at least she's cute tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah innocent sarkaz

We prob will get her 6* vers as welfare

[vernal lion]

it's just 1 direction if it's from middle, like enemy chain caster tho

[scarlet fulcrum]

[tidal sedge]

I'm curious how smart/dumb the bouncing is

[copper vale]

enemy chain caster

what.

[copper vale]

oh those motherfuckers

i was WONDERING what kept occasionally killing an op in the lucian fight in is2

[tidal sedge]

Like can it can tell an op 2 bounces away can be healed and will try to get the 3rd bounce to that op?

[copper vale]

in my backline

[tidal sedge]

Those guys aren't in Lucian stage

The matterlurgists are though, and they target up to 2 ops

[copper vale]

oh that's what those are

they looked similar enough at a glance without zooming in

now that i'm actually tabbing between them I can see the diff

[vernal lion]

so this is my deploy order

[median sphinx]

all new annilation guides use lappland, skalter but i dont have either is it needed if want to do an auto run?

[sharp wadi]

Try your luck with waai fu or jaye

[latent anvil]

Cope against grass everywhere permanently ig

Lumen can cure stuns

[vernal lion]

if the chain caster enemy attack from 2, the chain will jump to 3,
if it attacks from 3, the chain will jump to 2 and 1 and Paprika too

[frigid kite]

Ceobe S3, Jaye S1, Podenco S2, Proviso S2, Corroseum (?)

[vernal lion]

that's the rule of chain effect

so you want to deploy someone last in the middle of the chain

[frigid kite]

You will have to spawnkill the spewers btw @median sphinx

[sharp wadi]

Or you wait for around 15- 17 day and loan someone money to get texas alter

[frigid kite]

S1 M3

[sharp wadi]

On drop = gone

[median sphinx]

can i send screenshot of what i have and can someone tell me if an auto team is doable

[sharp wadi]

Rubbish cn boss texas reck everything

[frigid kite]

Sure

[sharp wadi]

So she's T0

Sell your life

[latent anvil]

Surely can auto

[frigid kite]

Ah you are still good

Put Nian on top, Thorns mid with Saria S1 next to him

Permahealing

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah quite stacked for this

[frigid kite]

And spawnkill the spewers

Put 2 people next to Saria and Thorns btw

[median sphinx]

who should i bring healers

[frigid kite]

NG shining Whisperain and Warfarin

Just to make sure they dont die

[median sphinx]

mylnar ate all my pulls

[frigid kite]

Also put someone next to Nian

[vernal lion]

not bad for her actually

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh fixed number not bad

[vernal lion]

80 HP is almost 1/5 healing

[glass monolith]

how much healing she loses on chain?

[vernal lion]

25% per bounce

[glass monolith]

Shit operator

[vernal lion]

wait s2m3 is helidrop skill tho, wtf

[glass monolith]

My helidrop heal is feed Gravel to something while i trying to come up with actual plan

[scarlet fulcrum]

Well medic in general just

[glass monolith]

As someone who uses only Ptilo i agree

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most ppl still use NG, warf, or maybe lumen

Iv seen few ppl draft him in is3, idk the diff lv tho

[crimson cedar]

is archetto strong?

just pulled her

[vernal lion]

NG is the most and only relevant as solo medic

if you just need only 1

[glass monolith]

Cute, multitarget, apply buffs and start blasting

[scarlet fulcrum]

Shes decent

tho ppl barely pick aa nowadays

[crimson cedar]

aa?

[scarlet fulcrum]

But she is good at her job and kit

Anti air

[crimson cedar]

oh

D:

[glass monolith]

Anti-air, community name for snipers which in-game got called Marksmen. They attack flying targets first above everything else

[crimson cedar]

my fav unit is aa

RIP platinum

[glass monolith]

Why not use BOTH

[crimson cedar]

cus i also have exu

and 3 is a bit overboard, no?

[vernal lion]

hmm I think I know how to use chain medic

[glass monolith]

I have 12 squad slots and i will fill them all

And then complain than i need 14th one

[vernal lion]

you want to put someone on the rear of her

it works better for deploying in X-shaped not plus-shaped

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just raise chetto dw shes decent, there are also few 0 def shits in new chapter so

[glass monolith]

Well thanks, don't own anyway

I have Exu, then i got Kroos alter, now Exu has bench

[scarlet fulcrum]

I used gt and kroos alter nowadays

[crimson cedar]

she is strong vs 0 def?

[glass monolith]

Well almost any sniper is

[crimson cedar]

i thought anti air snipers are weak to defense

[glass monolith]

Well 0 def, mean NO defense

[crimson cedar]

ye but isnt this bad for her then

[glass monolith]

Can't be weak to something which doesn't exist

[scarlet fulcrum]

Shes fine until ~600 defense . I forgor her number

[vernal lion]

I think this is the only reason for chain caster

[gentle finch]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Recently i only aboosed her in IS, too good there

[crimson cedar]

whats IS

[gentle finch]

integrated strategies

[scarlet fulcrum]

^

[glass monolith]

Rogue like ish game mode where you suffer for loot and then for no reason

[scarlet fulcrum]

U meant encounter

[glass monolith]

I want to do Kroos Only not deep investigation run after texas banner

[gentle finch]

play inscrutable path with temp recruit only

you'll lose your mind

[crimson cedar]

is that the SSS thing everyone complains about

[glass monolith]

No SSS is SSS

[scarlet fulcrum]

AA suffer in sss, they are good fodder tho

[crimson cedar]

all i know is people hate sss and cc is very hard and i built blacknight to cheese it

[glass monolith]

Supreme Sadism Sanctuary is game mode added for endgamers to get materials for module tiering

[gentle finch]

rip bozo

is blacknight used in max risk cc11

[glass monolith]

456 is one of cc11 strats

[gentle finch]

don't think so

[vernal lion]

yes

[gentle finch]

idk

oh ok

[frigid kite]

Blacknight to cheese SSS

[crimson cedar]

idk i just saw a video of someone perma sleeping with blacknight

[gentle finch]

cool

[crimson cedar]

so i wasted like 200 OP pulling her on banner

[gentle finch]

what

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wtf

[crimson cedar]

no regrets though, shes hot af

[vernal lion]

that is cc8 tho

[gentle finch]

i mean

[alpine plover]

That was probably max risk though

[glass monolith]

While i respect your simping. Pulling because video of something long gone is uh...

[crimson cedar]

i pulled mountain and aak before i got her

[alpine plover]

You don't even get medal for that. And won't be able to do realistically anyway

[crimson cedar]

it was not a good pull session

well i also wanted her at that moment because this skin was on the shop

[glass monolith]

That strategy needed alot more operators than Blacknight and by time you build them all that event will pass (and one you talk about passed almost 7-8 months ago)

[vernal lion]

324 hps is smth lol

[crimson cedar]

like how can i not pull for this

[glass monolith]

now slap 54% DR with Stainless S3 + Gladiia

[scarlet fulcrum]

i have few skins but not with ops

[crimson cedar]

i only have like 8 skins

most of the skins i dont like

[vernal lion]

gibe Stainless

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just dont buy, wasted af

[crimson cedar]

dont buy skins?

[scarlet fulcrum]

But BK hawt cant argue with u

[crimson cedar]

i mean aside from that one sussero(?) skin i couldnt resist, i use all the skins i buy

theyre for units i actually use

[frigid kite]

Btw guys

Annihilation has the yellow thing

[scarlet fulcrum]

That one free literally

Sus

[crimson cedar]

the sussero skin?

[frigid kite]

Does that mean

[crimson cedar]

wut

it wasnt free

[frigid kite]

Texalter event soon

[scarlet fulcrum]

Should be

[glass monolith]

[crimson cedar]

sorry

i looked at it again

suzuran

not sussero

[scarlet fulcrum]

Cultured man

[crimson cedar]

this cute cat one

[alpine plover]

Fox*

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yeah this one limited

[frigid kite]

That is gone

Forever

[crimson cedar]

the thing on her tail is a cat, no?

[frigid kite]

Monster hunter one is cuter thought

[glass monolith]

Non cultured HG didn't even include CC9 in calculation, why the fuck i did r22 then? HUH?

[crimson cedar]

WAIT THERES MONSTER HUNTER SKINS?

arknights did a mh collab??? no way

[latent anvil]

In future

[glass monolith]

Skins, no, 3 characters, yes

[latent anvil]

For global

[crimson cedar]

omg

i want

i love mh

[alpine plover]

Should be like july?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yostar surely enjoy that, look at is3 and skin from login event ch11, nowhere

[crimson cedar]

well rip my wallet

[latent anvil]

Who knows, en schedule has been pretty trash recently

When is3

[alpine plover]

Oh no way off

[frigid kite]

They promised me a Thorns rathalos skin

[alpine plover]

Like october

[frigid kite]

Next week

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh wait its yotard, mybad HG

[crimson cedar]

i saved up a lot for texalter but it didnt come and then i saw the idol archetto skin so i spent like half of it to get that and also sailtech(?) from the other banner

[glass monolith]

Global does pro gamer move and go to IS-banned to speak about to not trigger IS3 waiters

[latent anvil]

You get this instead https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586588958885150721/1090056092484120626/79B94442-706D-44CE-8C39-07094936E303.gif?width=891&height=445

[crimson cedar]

thorns rathalos

wtf

is there a valstrax skin

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats noir

[crimson cedar]

thatd be cool af

[glass monolith]

Wait. WHERE QUERCUS SKIN

[scarlet fulcrum]

Free

[frigid kite]

Just casual skins

[latent anvil]

Minus just said no skins lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its actually similiar to skin in MH, so understandable

[crimson cedar]

wait

[glass monolith]

Skin for cats not included because cats are drone and who plays for drone skin

[crimson cedar]

noir corne alter??

im confused

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah

[crimson cedar]

yato 6* alter?????

what

[scarlet fulcrum]

Kirin yea

[vernal lion]

I bought Rockrock skin instead

[glass monolith]

Two 2* operators gain their alters in MH collab, named after MH armors

[crimson cedar]

wtf lol

and why is yato hot af

[glass monolith]

In year 2025 i will gain Rockrock to equip it

[scarlet fulcrum]

5* cert order just random so u can cope

[crimson cedar]

why do people hate medics :(

[glass monolith]

Just don't die lol

[scarlet fulcrum]

ppl justprio dps over anything in ak

[frigid kite]

Who hates medic tho

[crimson cedar]

my only unit that can do that is spalter

[vernal lion]

because medic can't kill enemy,
so that's why combat medic appears

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not really hate yeah, just prio

[vernal lion]

[crimson cedar]

dang

but then

why dont people hate defenders

[glass monolith]

And then they give everything 90 res so you can't just ReAl it

[crimson cedar]

theyre not dps

[scarlet fulcrum]

DPS>

[glass monolith]

And then Horn and Fire Whistle happened

[crimson cedar]

rip

[frigid kite]

Damn

[crimson cedar]

should i pull horn banner then

[frigid kite]

What's next, caster dps

[glass monolith]

Goldenglow

[scarlet fulcrum]

Arts after cinder just

[vernal lion]

defender is "hot"

[crimson cedar]

i have mudmud and hoshi

[vernal lion]

in both meanings

[glass monolith]

I love smell of 1000 dps napalm at the morning

[frigid kite]

@crimson cedar level Penance after you get her on Texalter banner

You will like her

[crimson cedar]

i will?

why

also idk if ill pull her, ill stop at texalter

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dont jynx it

[crimson cedar]

also now that i know hot mh yato is coming, im saving up for that

i got pretty lucky with spalter banner, got both irene and spalter in 20 pulls

got dorothy in 20 tok

too

in fact

[scarlet fulcrum]

I got irene from daily free

[crimson cedar]

i dont think theres a single unit i pulled more for than fking blacknight man

[alpine plover]

We're bragging? I lost 8 coinflips on Mlynar banner! Wait

[crimson cedar]

i heard mlynar banner was rlly unlucky for a lot of ppl

[scarlet fulcrum]

I lost 3 coinflip in assenger, now hes still e0

[crimson cedar]

i didnt pull that vanner

banner

because im not into uncles xd

[tidal sedge]

I got Horse Uncle in 7 pulls
Same with Ifrit

[near folio]

Time to abuse the Roberta + Franka synergy

[crimson cedar]

i dont remember when i got ifrit but apparently i got her twice cus shes pot 2 for some reason

[tidal sedge]

God her voice is amazing

[vernal lion]

Ash is Columbia? that's new to me

[alpine plover]

I kinda hate her defeat voice line. Like girl chill out

[crimson cedar]

why is last 20 of annihilation so hard :(

[latent anvil]

Because the grass grows everywhere

[near folio]

The new one?

[latent anvil]

Use the lawnmower

[crimson cedar]

ye

[near folio]

Tbh I felt the hardest part of the new anni was around 330-350

[glass monolith]

Compared to last 50 of annihilation 3, current one is joke

[vernal lion]

yea

[crimson cedar]

annihilation 3 is the lungmen city downtown right?

[near folio]

Last 50 of South Prison 💀

[crimson cedar]

but i felt like that was easy

[glass monolith]

For me hardest part was around 280-300 or when was there spam of 10 or so empowered dodging shitheads?

[alpine plover]

Dossoles annihilation

[latent anvil]

Well maybe this is because my ops get stronger and stronger but the only hard anni was watery tidehollow, failed that disaster >15 times prob

[alpine plover]

Like legit took 8 hours out of me

[crimson cedar]

chocolate street felt easy to me as well

[glass monolith]

Fartooth which was AFK for 350 kills: "Sniping is good job, m8"

[near folio]

Idk what happened but I got destroyed on last 50 of chocolate street

[crimson cedar]

rip

[latent anvil]

Water gate was fun

[near folio]

Oh yeah the Legatus ran me over

[vernal lion]

the easiest last 50 is Shangshu

[near folio]

Disable + big damage + constant reload

[frigid kite]

Ethan solo the last 50 wave

[latent anvil]

Shangshu trails my auto didn't even kill all

[alpine plover]

Water gate is fine yeah. I'm talking about event one

[crimson cedar]

not chronoberg?

[latent anvil]

Oh dh mo 1

[cursive mango]

just got a very quick question:-

all my left buildings are level 3, my dorms are level 1, theres 30 power left, should I level the dorms?

[near folio]

DH MO 1 was fun

[latent anvil]

Yea go ahead

[crimson cedar]

i mean you will level everything eventually anyway lol

[glass monolith]

Open gate a little and push him out

[latent anvil]

Also nice base

[latent anvil]

Ew 243?

[cursive mango]

252

[near folio]

Wait DH MO

[crimson cedar]

??

[near folio]

nvm

Not fun

[crimson cedar]

243?

[latent anvil]

How many powerplant you have

[near folio]

DM annihilation was fun

[latent anvil]

Stonks is 2 powerplant

[crimson cedar]

3

[glass monolith]

Fucking base set up talk, i was thinking you guys talk about leveling every operator in game

[cursive mango]

how do you be ultra effcient with money/factories, is it literally just getting more ops so you can use more bonuses?

[alpine plover]

My biggest gripe with DH MO is top lane where 2 block is enough for the whole run

And then last wave you need block 4

[frigid kite]

If the numbers start with 25 or 24 is mostly base

[glass monolith]

No you just get specific combo which goes brrrrrrr

[alpine plover]

And can't even panic drop because of water

[crimson cedar]

is it not normal to have everything??

[near folio]

Tbh the Sarkaz in the new chapter doesnt feel as aggressive as the ones from DM

[scarlet fulcrum]

lv3 office 🗿

[near folio]

Just doesnt feel the same when there are no lancers and sleepers in the Sarkaz group

[cursive mango]

rightio

many thanks

[crimson cedar]

am confused

[latent anvil]

Normal yes, optimized? No

252 gets more resources

[crimson cedar]

huh why

[latent anvil]

Everything better except credit and trust gain

[latent anvil]

It's just more , the math maths out

[alpine plover]

My OCD does not allow for anything that isn't 2 4 3

[crimson cedar]

i cant delevel my base can I?

[latent anvil]

Yea 252 ugly but it better, even with max right

[near folio]

I hope we get to face off against Sarkaz mercs again instead of Military Commission of Kazdel

[frigid kite]

Do DM sarkaz oneshot your mudrock

[glass monolith]

you can't delevel some building in the base because Yostar like punishing for being unaware

[latent anvil]

Can't downgrade right side, left side and dorms can.

[near folio]

Mudrock is immune to DM Sarkaz

[glass monolith]

I used S2 Mudrock on H10-3 as boss killer

[alpine plover]

Mudrock is damage-proof. Unless it's chapter 12 then get fucked

[glass monolith]

Stupidity level was so high than Manfred just left into red box

[crimson cedar]

wait how do i get more trading posts

[glass monolith]

First you place C4 on factory

[near folio]

I can feel my brain switch off when I drop down Mudrock

[glass monolith]

Unless someone can salvage 252 with office 3, but i guess welcome to 243

[scarlet fulcrum]

C4 not enough to escape beta

[crimson cedar]

;~;

[cursive mango]

I have the tri core for the trading post, thats about it

[frigid kite]

He is coming for y'all ass

[scarlet fulcrum]

U are still fine with lv3 office, just run with few lv2 factories and dorm lv1

[glass monolith]

It is eater or caster?

[vernal lion]

it's easter

[near folio]

If I turn on Franka's S2, does she get one shotted by Steam Knight?

[crimson cedar]

ok

[vernal lion]

[crimson cedar]

i replaced a factory with a trading post

then what

[glass monolith]

1600 normal attack, 6000 (2000 x 3) charged

[latent anvil]

Wait no, you want 2tp 5 factory

[crimson cedar]

bruh

[latent anvil]

Go #help they will help you I'm busy gtg 🏃‍♂️

Just send screenshot and ask how to fix

[near folio]

So one modeler from Roberta lets her survive a charged attack from steam knight

[frigid kite]

Mudrock should afk him

[glass monolith]

Charged follow up 4 normal attacks, any stuns will drop charged

[near folio]

I got shafted by Stainless

Im not gonna play Victoriaknights anymore

Now Columbiaknights is my new friend

[frigid kite]

Hmmm

Can texalter 1v1 him?

[near folio]

Can solo dps but she probably dies in one or two hits if she is blocking

[frigid kite]

She should perma stun him thought

[ancient hearth]

Texalter takes like 7ish deployments to kill the steam knight.

[near folio]

I thought Steam Knight phase 2 is just permanently on rage mode

[ancient hearth]

he is, he doesn't self stun anymore

but the problem really is that his piledriver attack will 1 shot texalter so even with healing she can't really duel him

[near folio]

If a boss can be stunned then wouldnt it just get soloed by Chen S1?

Oh wait nvm

Her stun is only 1.5 secs

[ancient hearth]

pretty sure steam knight is stun immune in phase 2

[glass monolith]

he is?

Thanks god stun is not part of my H stages plans

[ancient hearth]

I'm just going with ebenholz and nightingale

S3 goes in

Primes comes out

[glass monolith]

I go in with Ambriel the tree defuser, Eunectes the S1 in 2023 lmao, Stainless the 36% DR, Roberta the T pose

[ancient hearth]

Ifrit the real tree cutter on the last one

[crimson cedar]

2-5-2 looks so fugly though

[glass monolith]

Wasn't H11-4 be like... 1 tree?

H11-2 is one with like 8

and just to troll you there are tree healers as wave 1 and 2

[ancient hearth]

H11-2 with all those trees and high ground tiles to the left

Got the maps mixed up

[glass monolith]

i still don't know what is H11-3

[full finch]

is it just me or is this annihilation weirdly easy

none of the enemies are threatening, and the dodge mobs can be solved pretty easily

well I guess there's 2 of these but like
easy to burst down

[near folio]

The last 50 they werent even trying

[glass monolith]

Only time my ass was in danger was dodge mobs spam from top left around right before 300, everything else just

[cursive mango]

ive yet to do one, not sure when I can really attempt it

[glass monolith]

i swear every time i try to screenshot gladiia she is blinking

[near folio]

I wonder if Magallan is good at tree cutting in chapter 11

[glass monolith]

40k hp and deploy blocking tile

[scarlet fulcrum]

O def 40k hp

[glass monolith]

I feel like whoever come up with deploy blocking enemy mechanics - sleeping robots of DV and chapter 11 tree - was just "But what if - Fuck Magallan S2?"

[scarlet fulcrum]

U want meele tile for it

[tidal sedge]

I remember seeing such sentiments from folks who did it in CN too

So it's not just you. I suspect they knew folks hated SN mobs and made it trivial intentionally.

[full finch]

especially compared to GA annihilation

that was rather tough

[glass monolith]

But it was relatevely easy too

Almost all enemies low tier ones and only near end bazooka ivan spam

[full finch]

it wasn't though

[tidal sedge]

Losing towers could make things problematic fast

[full finch]

if you lose towers at the end you're basically fucked

[glass monolith]

Know that, second tried it

[tidal sedge]

Mortars hurt a lot when they're being constantly reloaded

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its around 380ish yea

[full finch]

but for SN annihilation they really could have tried harder

[tidal sedge]

and the ranged waves could kill Beeswax. I had to rotate her and Carne for baiting

[full finch]

no reefbreakers

[alpine plover]

SN and annihilation is like two most frustrating things in arknights. I'd say i'm happy that this one is easy

[near folio]

Can the trees be stunned?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ye

[near folio]

Ok at least I can use Ash to cut trees

[full finch]

I sleep

did without lappland the first time
saileach stun

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats interesting setup, horn s1 and plat

[near folio]

Man Columbia doesnt have any good ranged tile tree cutters

[full finch]

horn is just to kill the spitters hiding in the corner
it's still fine without, but it reduces some pressure on honeyberry, who's only E1

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah its pretty interesting choice ngl

[full finch]

there's just no threatening enemies

so it really doesn't matter who's on the front line

[scarlet fulcrum]

Indeed

[near folio]

Can Schwarz be considered for columbiaknights?

[full finch]

though, units with higher def are nicer because the spitters are still annoying

spalter is there because she has 3800 HP and although gladiia is unmodded, it's still 2.5% HP regen

not that she needs it since skalter, ptilo, and honeyberry are extremely overkill in healing

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah in sn there are a lot condition for them, and also tree. So understandable

[alpine plover]

Yes

Since Siesta is subfaction

[scarlet fulcrum]

reefbreaker just either u stall with handy, reset stack or just burst

[sonic willow]

so much cancer 💀 are you sure it's going to be ok

[scarlet fulcrum]

Xolli cleared it

[full finch]

that was my victory lap
it was full afk lol

[smoky swan]

I got to 395 messed up on timing so ran out of those roombas

[sonic willow]

[smoky swan]

Small break when back to get those last 5

[glass monolith]

Imagine there was 400 of you, and now there is only 5. And HE is coming back

[tidal sedge]

Hmm.

I wonder if Poz typewriter can snipe spewers by itself

[sonic willow]

who 💀

[glass monolith]

SCP-REDACTED, Doctor

[frigid kite]

the bald one

[raw quail]

So close!! I only leaked because of the dodgy enemies... if I activated some skills better and had better rng, could've cleared it! Sniperkights ftw!!

[gentle finch]

?

if she's unmodded where is the HP Regen coming from

wait

ok

[full finch]

[gentle finch]

my bad

rip bozo

[full finch]

Plus the enemies are also seaborne

Free 25% dr

[gentle finch]

real

[tidal sedge]

Hmm
